Train Ticket from Bangarapet is cheaper than train ticket from Krishnarajpuram for same train, same date, same class, same destination.This is because of flawed logic of dynamic fare.

After catching a couple of electric offlinks of the morning, it was the time for the diesel one.

But this Humsafar category is not showing much of those bright future and profits.PS:...
